Today, Y4 visited South Shields Museum. There, we took part in a workshop about local smugglers. We found out all about the roles of different people in the smuggling trade and also about the lives of a few local smugglers, such as Dolly Peel and John the Jibber!
Wow, what a busy morning we’ve had in Year Four! First swimming, then a quick change into our costumes before reading to our friends in Reception!
Well, what can I say? Year Four experienced an utterly amazing trip on Tuesday! We became scientists, using Bunsen burners to explore evaporation and condensation, went on a 4D Polar Express ride, watched a show in the planetarium and even found out lots about animal dung!!! To top off our amazing day, we went ice skating on the outdoor rink! Some of us were more successful than others! What a day!
Yesterday Year 3 and Year 4 had their Christmas Party. There was lots of fun, games and dancing. Everyone had a great time!
Evan from Year 4 brought to school the most amazing family treasure to share with his class. These medals belonged to his Great Grandfather and represent the amazing way he battled for our country to gave us the freedom we all enjoy today.
Thank you for sharing them with us.
This afternoon, Year Four’s classroom was transformed into an Italian restaurant. Parents and grandparents were welcomed into Pizza Perfecto to sample some Italian foods made by their children in DT lessons. They started with bread and olives and then dined on Pasta a’la Marsden – a sauce made from onions, tomatoes, garlic, basil, parsley and parmesan. The children enjoyed their time being waiters and waitresses but weren’t so keen when sampling the olives!!
Congratulations to Ava who stunned Year Four with her beautiful poetic language this week!
This week the children were challenged to build their own Roman arch, some developed their arches into bridges.
Here are their creations!
This week we explored chariots from Roman times and the children had ten minutes to build their own.
Here are a selection of pictures.
